Slow cook until it falls apart. Then blast the heat to get those crispy edges.
Season pork with cumin, oregano, salt. Sear all sides in lard.
Add orange juice, lime, garlic, onion. Cover tightly.
Braise at 150°C for 3.5-4 hours.
When a fork slides through like butter, it's done.
Shred the meat. Spread on a sheet pan.
Broil 5 minutes until edges get crispy and caramelized.
This step is what separates good from legendary.
Serve on warm tortillas. That's it.
